“Visionary and strategic leadership can make the difference between just surviving and actually excelling in this period of disruptive change for the IT channel. In order for technology suppliers and solution providers to thrive and stay ahead of the competition, they need leaders who are able to envision both the future of the channel and the role their organization needs to play in order to create that reality.
